Daniel D. Powlette

Born Jan. 7, 1940, in East Stroudsburg, a son of the late Daniel and Catherine Rascona Powlette.

He graduated from Pius X High School in 1961, received a bachelor's degree from Lehigh University in 1965 and a master's degree from Northeastern University in 1967.

He never stopped working using his physics degree because he loved using his brain, which was sharp until the day he died.

He was most recently employed at MacAuley-Brown Inc. for over two decades. He received several awards over the years including one in which his contributions gave "the DoD a new solution to improve the survivability of numerous aircraft across the services."

He enjoyed boating with his children and grandchildren, sitting by the pool, making homemade gelato and gardening, so he could grow his own huge tomatoes.

He attended the Church of the Incarnation in Centerville, Ohio.

He is survived by four children, Renee Powlette of Arlington, Va., Darren Powlette of Waynesville, Ohio, Corey Powlette and his wife, Natalie, of Bellbrook, Ohio, and Jody Powlette and his wife, Rebecca, of Bellbrook; five grandchildren, Mackenzie, Michael, Spencer, Matthew and Abby; sisters Shirley Powlette of Roseto and Deborah Kerler of Collegeville.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 5, in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Third and Garibaldi avenues, Roseto. Family and friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, and 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 5, in the Fiore Funeral Home, Bangor. Burial will be in the New Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Roseto.
